Originally, the fork had linear fork springs. These have been replaced by progressive fork springs, which leads to a significantly better initial response and offers more reserve in the second spring rate than the series. On the rear shock, the spring rate is adjusted via a slightly stiffer spring, in combination with optimised rebound and compression damping.
The suspension geometry on the front and rear axle was sensibly adjusted via the negative spring travel. Originally, the vehicle had somewhat high negative spring travel. These were adjusted by a minimally shorter suspension strut, so that the original seat height is retained.
This results in better driving behaviour and better handling, which also contributes to safe driving behaviour.
With this shock absorber the compression tank is connected to the shocks´ body by a flexible steel hose. Therefore it is an ideal alternative for road motorcycles with limited space. The hose can be placed individually where there is enough space for example on the rear frame where air flow can provide additional cooling. The adjustment screws for high- and low-speed compression, each tunable in 22 clicks, can be easily reached from the outside. Rebound can be modified by an open bleed system in 22 clicks and the preload is continuously adjustable.
